Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1946), starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, has become a beloved American holiday classic. Celebrated for its timeless message of hope, resilience, and community, the film's heartfelt story reminds audiences of the impact one person can have on their community. A perfect holiday tradition, it continues to warm hearts and inspire joy year after year.

Join us on December 20 at the Quick Center to revisit It’s a Wonderful Life at our 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. screenings. Jay Rozgonyi, associate vice provost for pedagogical innovation and effectiveness, and film studies instructor at Fairfield University, will provide a brief introduction prior to each screening and conduct a Q&A session at the end as well, sharing further stories about the movie’s production along with his insights on the film, its themes, and the post-World War II world that produced it.

We look forward to celebrating with you and your family!
